Cerdicis

Cerdicis (?-254 BC) was the king of Liguria from 255 BC to 254 BC. The successor of Senorix of Liguria, he was not regarded a true friend of Rome, as the only thing preventing the Roman Republic from annexing Liguria was Senorix's co-existence due to a non-aggression pact. Cerdicis tried to defend Genua from Lucius Papirius Cursor's Legio III Apollinaris, but was utterly defeated and he was cut down from his horse.
